The race requires that sailors sail alone and sail a class of boat that is no longer than 22 feet in length. Every 2 years about 80 sailors set out to complete the race followed by as few as 2 support vessels who stay within radio range in case of emergencies. Communications by anything other than radio for emergencies is prohibited by the participants. With only one stop during the entire 35 day passage conservation of resources and sleep deprivation are a couple of the primary challenges to completing the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is an auto-pilot on the boat so you can sleep for short periods,\u201d Octavio explains. \u201cBut you do not have very much battery charge so you have to get your sleep in no more than 20 minute segments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He estimates that he will be able to sleep for three 20-minute segments per day. With the support boats broadcasting weather reports 3 times a day, setting a sleep schedule to not miss those reports is crucial.<\/p>\n<p>Octavio&#8217;s involvement at MBAC began when he saw an opportunity to give back for all he has gotten from sailing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really enjoy teaching sailing as a way to help others enjoy the benefits that the sport has given in my life,\u201d Octavio explains.<\/p>\n<p>Octavio\u2019s website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.desafiotransatlantico.com\/\">www.desafiotransatlantico.com<\/a>, which is currently in spanish but is being translated to english, lists a training campaign that includes preparation races in 13 countries, 26 cities and over 2 oceans to prepare for the Transat 650. All that training a travelling leads to what may be one of the biggest challenges in preparing for the race\u2026 money. He estimates that the cost of travel, boat transports, as well as building the custom boat will cost an estimated $180,000. He hopes that his endeavor to become the first Peruvian to solo transatlantic will help draw attention to his fundraising.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really want to do something good for Peru and become a part of Peruvian nautical history.\u201d<br \/>\nOctavio has partnered with Ocean Racing Technology, who have designed his vessel and who he affectionately calls \u201chis team,\u201d is training with him through the preparation for the 2013 race and will be building his boat.<\/p>\n<p>You can keep in touch with Octavio\u2019s endeavor on facebook at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/desafiotransatlantico\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/desafiotransatlantico<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MBAC sailing instructor, Octavio Arteta, has a lofty goal.
